Curb lights

My 2007 Prerunner is my DD. Living in town, I parallel park out front and the visibility sucks on my street due to the street light placement.
I’m thinking of installing a couple of led light strips above the rear tires, pointing down, to see the curb better. Has anyone done anything along those lines? If so, what did you use and have you got any photos?

 

Lots of info and photos on lighting options in the Lighting sub-forum:

Looks like most people refer to this style of lighting as rock lights, hope that helps you narrow it down.

 

I've been looking through that all morning. Just looking for some examples of placement. It seems the tires would shade the area to the curb unless LED strips are used. Hoping for some images of that.

 

You could do something like this one mounted on frame rails and angle it to point downwards/outwards/around the tire if that makes sense.

 

I got 4 rock lights from Amazon., they're 9 watt LED's. I assume I could tap into the trailer light reverse wires to power 2 of them. A trailer's incandescent reverse lamps would surely total more than 18 watts and the wiring would certainly be shorter to a wheel well on the truck, than the rear of a trailer.
